if you dont know how to weld... you probably shouldnt be attempting to do it yourself.

Don't be a dick, not alot of people on here know how to weld.

But buy the new piece before you do anything, that way you can size it up and figure out if your going to be cutting the sheet metal or drilling the pinch welds and welding right back into place etc.. etc..

Pinch welds = nice because you don't have to mate the surfaces and its a full panel, but the alignment has to be perfect for it to seem right.

Sheet metal = nice because you just cut what your replacing, then grind and weld, but it takes more fine work on getting those 2 surfaces to mate smooth so when you paint again it looks normal.
